Anicka’s Pick: Samsung Serif 40″ TV

When my parents finally gave up their vintage ’80s console TV, it took a good half-dozen people to move it to the curb. Though they’re both free-standing screens, their TV wasn’t nearly as pretty as EQ3’s update on the stand-alone television: the Samsung Serif ($1,119) is designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, and it features a fabric-covered back and attachable legs. And though it’s sturdy and stable on its angled base, it can be easily moved to the perfect spot to take in Claire Foy’s killer queenly accent in The Crown. Available at EQ3, eq3.com
